Chapter 137: If You Can’t Handle a House, How Can You Handle the World? (2/2)

“……” Xiang Long was silent for a moment, unable to help but cover his face with his hand, sighing deeply.

Who exactly does this girl take after…

“I meant for you to work at this Cat Café,” Xiang Long said to Xiang Xin after letting out a long sigh.

“Ah~” Xiang Xin’s face drooped again, “Isn’t that just serving tables?”

“Little Xin, don’t think of it that way!” Xiang Long’s face grew stern as he tried to convince Xiang Xin, “You need to understand, if you can’t handle a house, how can you handle the world? To achieve great things, you have to start with small missions. When your father was your age… uh, never mind!”

The corners of Xiang Xin’s mouth twitched slightly.

Wasn’t that supposed to be ‘sweeping’? Not ‘handling’? Even someone like me who hardly studies knows that!

Thinking that Shen Cheng was busy and she had nothing else to do, the restless Xiang Xin nodded in agreement, “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

With that, Xiang Xin got up, intending to go find Shen Cheng, but was immediately pulled back into her seat by Xiang Long.

Slightly surprised, Xiang Xin looked at Xiang Long and asked, “Dad, what is it?”

“Finish your coffee before you go. Don’t waste it.”

Xiang Xin: “……”

After Lin Yuhui brought the coffee, Xiang Xin drank it and then went to find Shen Cheng to talk about working at the Cat Café. Shen Cheng did not refuse and gave Xiang Xin a few instructions before letting her start work.

At that time, Shen Cheng didn’t make Xiang Xin wear a uniform, after all, Xiang Xin was just a middle school student, and she was Xiang Long’s daughter. If he had her wear a maid outfit while working for him, it would have felt… rather disturbing!

While working at the Cat Café, Xiang Xin saw her father, Xiang Long, cuddling a cat like a true cat lover. It made her feel like her mental image of him was starting to crumble…

By around 10 o’clock in the evening, Shen Cheng finally finished making coffee and had some free time. After handing the front desk duties to Ximing, Shen Cheng led Xiang Xin outside Light Spot Cat Café.

Due to the season, the sky outside was already shrouded in darkness, with streetlights flickering dimly.

“There isn’t much time left, so here’s what I’ll do. I’ll teach you the basic moves of the Shen Family martial arts. Try to memorize them before the café closes tonight. From now on, you should practice every morning. I’ll test you next week, how does that sound?” Shen Cheng said to Xiang Xin with a gentle smile.

Xiang Xin’s eyes lit up as she eagerly nodded, “Yes, Master! I will do my best!”

“Good. Now, follow me. The first move is…”

……

“Ding-ling-ling…”

In the back kitchen of the Cat Café, Wen Yuanyuan was busy making a cake when suddenly the sound of a phone ringing was heard.

Wen Yuanyuan paused for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Su. Understanding, Liu Su took the cake from her and said, “Go ahead and answer it.”

“Thank you, Liu Su!” Wen Yuanyuan smiled and nodded at Liu Su. She dusted the flour off her hands and pulled out an obviously old-fashioned phone from her pocket. Answering the call, she said, “Hello, who’s this?”

“Hello, are you Miss Wen Yuanyuan?” A warm and polite male voice came from the other end of the line.

Wen Yuanyuan was a bit surprised and responded, “Yes, that’s me. How can I help you?”

“Oh, I see. I am the director of Lingshi Central Hospital, my surname is Mu. Is it correct that your relative is currently in our hospital due to being in a vegetative state…”

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanyuan’s expression instantly turned anxious. She hurriedly clutched the phone with both hands and said, “About my mother’s medical bills, please… please give me a few more days! I’ll pay it back soon! Please…”
